This photograph of a computer screen during a virtual interview shows Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine as he sits with his wife Fran DeWine while she holds a printed copy of the Yellow Springs News issue page from April 28, 1955, that shows DeWine as a then-second grader, while receiving his polio vaccination. Tens of millions of today's older Americans lived through the polio epidemic, their childhood summers dominated by concern about the virus. Some parents banned their kids from public swimming pools and neighborhood playgrounds and avoided large gatherings. Some of those from the polio era are sharing their memories with today's youngsters as a lesson of hope for the battle against COVID-19. Soon after polio vaccines became widely available, U.S. cases and death tolls plummeted to hundreds a year, then dozens in the 1960s, and to U.S. eradication in 1979. (AP Photo/Dan Sewell)

Two teachers and 55 students were photographed in the 1920s in front of the Jefferson Jacob School in Kentucky. Andrew Feiler reproduced the photo for his book on the Rosenwald Schools.
